Wasn't the haunt a place with this mad scientist fella outside the door trying to coax people in? Just had a vague memory come back.

You could spend a lot of Saturday in there in fact, Mick Flannery, Frank & Walters, The Minutes, Le Galaxie, Mother DJs... excellent day of music right there.

Jesus, you're not joking! From 10 to 4, the list reads Murder Capital, Engine Alley, David Keenan, Mick Flannery, the Frank and Walters, the Minutes and le Galaxie! That's some line-up. I could happily watch all of that. I hope he's got a pitch that befits the quality of his offerings this year.

DJ sets??? All type or do they stick to a particular style of music...
Noticed it last year but never went in...

Yeah old vinyl played, it is like a David Lynch set in there, the premise being musicians and singers long departed, so a bit halloweeny as well. The marvellous thing is that some of the music is world music, proper jungle rock n roll music. Crazy folk, obscure reggae, bebop from Africa in the mid sixties early seventies, Psychobilly: Kinda like the Cramps, Nick Cave and the Birthday Party style stuff but more obscurer and from around the world in various languages. The same people do the Gramophone Disco at Townlands Carnival if you have ever been at that festival, but through the night they put on some mad rare Planxty and Christy Moore stuff and a fecking weird mix of Toto's Africa that was tripped out. So, so different from dance music we are used to but it is still dance music in the literal sense.

Oh I forgot, they have one of the best sound systems of the festival, to hear that old vinyl on it is amazing.

Jerry Fish would pop in sometimes when he needed a break from his own tent.

bodhrandude · 22-08-2018 08:01PM

Speaking of surprise announcements, wouldn't it be amazing if they announced The Specials on the Friday.

The Haunt is terrible lads, best if you all stay away from it really.

Bodhrandudes argument was more heartfelt, I'm going to listen to him.

No, it was built on a bed of lies and just grew from there.
The worst part about The Haunt is the comfy couches, terrible so they are.

Little cocktail bar beside The Haunt is nice enough when your full up on beer.
Popped my head into The Haunt a few times last year didn't know what to make of it, will give it a go this year. How about here for the meet up that won't happen...?

Missed that as they clashed with the return of The Jesus and Mary Chain. Tough call, especially after everyone took great joy in telling me I'd missed the act of the weekend.

And would Nile not be a bit miffed to be below Picture This on the poster?

Yeah i remember that clash. Wanted to see the JAMC myself but ended up going along to chic as my friend told me trust me it’ll be epic and it was. Following chic it was hot chip- top notch that night too.

In all fairness to them that whole field in front of the main stage was bopping.

After Portishead in 2014. Blur were actually last on the main stage the year after.

You have some memory Badturtle. All the years are blurring together for me and i dont even get that hammered.

mrkiscool2 · 22-08-2018 10:02PM

Camelphat and Krystal Klear both headlining their perspective stages on the Friday, probably also clashing with Kendrick, is more than a mild annoyance! But oh well, will have to make a decision next week.

grudgehugger · 22-08-2018 10:20PM

There’s been a few posts looking for electronic/dance recommendations and this guy seems to be missing from people’s lists a bit...

DJ Koze - some super albums, his DJ Kicks is class. I’m prob over hyped to get to see him do a set tbh. Might even go see him over St Vincent if they clash on Sunday as I’ve seen her a lot lately

Not my favourite tune of his but I do like it, it’s current and likely to be in his set. Sh1t video too...

endainoz · 22-08-2018 10:34PM

Looks like st Vincent could well clash with the prodigy, listed as playing Sunday on her website....

I like that, more deep house than a techno thing, I like the simplicity of the subtitles describing the dynamics of the tune. A very nice hi hat thing going on with the beats. What do you reckon, the Little Big Tent or Rankin Woods for this guy.

St Vincent's might be an hour set so she might start half an hour or quarter of an hour before the main stage headline closer, actually scrap that, they all will finish at midnight. Catch first 45 minutes of Prodigy as they do start with Breathe and Firestarter is about the fourth or fifth track in. Then nip off and catch the last fifty minutes or so of St Vincent. Best of both worlds, then again it might not work out like that. My dilemma is a possible Death Grips and Prodigy clash, so will catch first part of Prodigy and then go on to Death Grips OR maybe I'll do it the other way round, I just don't fecking know.

Yep this was definitely a thing. They were up at the back of Wilde. Christ I'm having flashbacks now, there were longdrops up there too.

Oh man, I'd forgotten about them. Nothing like a gust of wind blowing up your jacksie at 9 in the morning to shunt you into reality.

anybody ever get tickets on toutless in the week leading up to EP before? I gave my early bird ticket to my niece as she was about to shell out €350 on a ticket - things pretty scarce on there at the moment....

Demand is pretty high this year... Way more so than other years. Hopefully you can get sorted
